These migratory ducks are among the many amazing birds that inhabit Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. Though they are common in many parts of the world, they are new to me. I slowly drove the 7 miles of one-way, limestone packed road called Black Point Wildlife Drive. Meandering through saltwater marsh, I spent over two hours, stopping frequently alongside experienced birders (of which I am not), viewing hundreds of resident and migratory birds. I regret that I did not have time to explore the national seashore as well and definitely intend to return to the area.

Thank you! They remind me of Daffy Duck, a bit cartoon-like with their large duckbills.
